Our last day of school was May 25th and I've enjoyed my time off so far {76 days left of vacay!}
I've been looking at the selection of commercial stickers on the market...while they are pretty, many of them just don't reflect what I am looking for. I began a process of trying to make my own stickers at home...{daunting task and a brain twister}. I considered purchasing labels made for a printer and using my own words/pictures. Then, I thought about just printing fun ideas using newsprint paper {it's a bit thinner} and literally cutting them out or using a fun punch shape...and either gluing them or using double-sided tape. This is a fun idea because I'm all about having something unique and something that a million people can't go get in the stores. I started with emoticons and will work my way to original pictures or drawings. What do you think?I also like the idea of making my own envelopes and stamps inspired by these originals from the 1950s. Any thoughts?

I was just looking at all the cars parked in my neighborhood with gifts in their hands, and thought to myself, "I bet school is out soon!" I think it's a great idea to make your own stickers. I wouldn't begin to know where to start, but it sounds like you have some thoughts about the process. Making your own envelopes is a creative idea too. That's a cool tote bag, and your cat has the prettiest eyes.
Enjoy your summer break!!
